"This week, I 'ave been ea'in'... " - the entry on food :-> 2. "Hard Rockin' around the World!" - photos from every hard rock cafe and hotel i've been to 3. "Schumacher the Red Guy" - photos of my faithful companion around the world. remember... i'm still around... just moved house je... :P http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=927649 Sun, 17 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT I love food -- one of my favourite things to do is checking out new places to eat and try out something new. Over the course of many years, I've been taking shots of food that looks... mmm.... good enuff to eat? I'm sure a lot of people are familiar with the food on display here. :) http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=389092 Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT with all the traveling i've been doing these past few years, i thought it'd be interesting to start a fotopage on the food served on board all these flights. i've just started, so there's not going to be a lot of stuff to see -- hopefully, this page will grow to be something more substantial! most people would agree if i said that airplane food does not taste that good. well, here's a few reasons why: 1. the quality of in-flight meals have dropped over the years because of cost-cutting (visit http://airlinemeals.net to see more than 18,000 pictures of airline meals, spanning more than half a century). 2. pressurized aircraft, low humidity, dehydration, cabin pressure -- we lose about 20 percent of our taste buds. http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=961066 Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT here's a growing collection of photos at every Hard Rock Cafe or Hard Rock Hotel i've been to so far. keep watching this space as more and more photos are added! http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=90785 Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT unbeknownst to many, there is a red IKEA soft toy named schumacher (or better known as the red guy) who tags along on my trips -- a very good travel companion -- no need to pay for tickets, lodging or even food! http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=687971 Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT after coming back from thamel, we went back to the soaltee hotel to get ready to fly back, but it was then we were informed that our air nepal flight was cancelled and that we were stranded for at least another day. we were bounded off to the hotel himalaya in patan for the duration of our extended stay. we were stranded there for an additional three days!!! and after much running around and stressful arguing, we managed to get home. http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=927571 Fri, 30 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT from patan, we headed to thamel, located in the middle of kathmandu. you can find hundreds of shops selling all sorts of touristy stuff, trekking gear and restaurants. you can even find genuine khukuris or gurkha knives -- the ones issued to the nepali army and the gurkha army/police regiments in the UK, singapore and brunei -- the real deal called 'service number 1'. after spending rupees and hours there, we headed to an impressive nepali food restaurant that features cultural dances and every one of us got a tika on our forehead from the hostess. the next day, we went to thamel again for some more shopping, http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=927557 Mon, 26 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT from bhaktapur, we headed off for lunch and then to patan, a section of kathmandu located in the south end. patan also has a durbar square and by this time, we were bored looking at the same old things -- newari temples, garudas, statues, etc -- so we didn't spend that much time there. to pass the time, i watched kids playing this game where they 'timbang' a ball of rubber band with their feet. seems to be a popular game with kids everywhere in nepal and girls are not excluded. http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=927528 Sun, 25 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT coming down from nagarkot, we went to bhaktapur, an ancient city close to kathmandu. bhaktapur also has a durbar square and there you can find the most important piece of art in kathmandu valley, the golden gate. there's a second square called taumadhi tole, which has the nyatapola temple, the highest temple in kathmandu valley. http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=878298 Sun, 25 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT on saturday, we made an early move for nagarkot -- a grueling 9-hour bus journey away from pokhara. nagarkot is located around 2000 m above sea level and on a really good day, you can see mount everest way way in the distance. the air was so thin that i semput when i ran up the slopes and stairs! http://-silvertongue-.fotopages.com/?entry=789617 Sun, 25 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT
